This is our Monarch Messenger civilian half-belt jacket. The design is based on an original that we acquired
in 2010, and that original, shown below, is from the mid to late 1940s. The jacket has a common-sense back shoulder
pleat design, and is very comfortable to wear. The leather is a hefty steerhide that is chrome tanned, and
has a wax-alinine finish. It's been worn for about 20 hours, and has edge-wear on high points with the most
friction (mostly the sleeve ends and elbows). It would look great on a person with these
dimensions: 5'11" to 6'2" (180.5cm to 188cm) and have a 43-45" (109.5cm to 114.5cm) chest.
The zippers are brass, and the main zipper is a reproduction chain, with a vintage Talon slider, but reproduction
pull tab. The chest zippers are Waldes reproductions. The front chest features piping that became popular in the
decade after WWII.
Monarch Mfg. of Milwaukee was a huge garment company. They started around the turn of the century, and were open until
1957. A bit of the company history can be found here.
